Glenn Up Close: Motherhood, Aging and Power
By The night before I was due to meet Glenn Close, I didn’t sleep well. Call it nerves or fear—there’s nothing like preparing to interview an actor who has been nominated eight times for an Oscar and won as many Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards—but multiple times in the early hours, I woke sweatily to flashes of Glenn Close as Patty Hewes from Damages, Joan Castleman from The Wife, Albert from Albert Nobbs, Olivia Pace from Le Divorce (obscure, but a personal favorite), Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction, and Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations.
